American students taking part in Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) exams fell to 465 out of 1,000 in 2022—an all-time low, per the Washington Post.
"One in three US students scored below a basic level of math proficiency," per the New York Times, while "just 7% of US students scored at the highest levels in math, compared with 23% in Japan and South Korea, and 41% in Singapore, the top-performing country."
The tests, typically given every three years to 15-year-olds from 81 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development member countries and partner economies, showed "an unprecedented drop in performance across the OECD," according to a release. Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland, "all saw a drop of 25 score points or more in [math] between 2018 and 2022."
